Ladies. Remember the times, when we all once gushed over the looks that Carrie and the girls pulled off and imagined if we could ever live in their shoes. Like literally. And strut in 'em heels just like Carrie.
When cosmopolitan became everyone's favorite cocktail (Mind the drinking age) & Vogue became a magazine to notice at every book stand. And Manolo Blahnik? I'm sorry but I really heard the brand for the first time in my life, courtesy- Sex and the city.
Decades ahead, we now live in a world of Tik-Tok, instagram & inspired fashion. Where everyone is dandy, chic and fabulous. Simple, sexy & everything between; name any kind, fashion is so easily available online with one simple click.
And with that come a few timeless trends from the show that can still get us all carrie-d away. Every single time.
- Sun-dresses are fun dresses. Pastels or bright. Take your pick, but
don’t miss a hat, purse or maybe an oversized belt.
- Mix Business with pleasure. Suit up in stripes, floral or prints. It's a subtle art of mixing prints and patterns.
Pair it up with sneakers for casual meet-ups or nice kitten heels for formal meetings.
Or over-the-shoulder jackets or blazer to transform your party dresses into formals back to the after-party appropriate. Keep a check on the color palette and you're good to go.
- Get that bling right with the shiny chunks. Don't you agree on how oversized Faux pearls are so under-rated. They fit in our Indian wardrobe seamlessly. But,
the time now is to go bold & wear a lot of them not just on Indian attires but may be on your LBD or Denim or may be, may be on a pale color jumpsuit/dress for that flirtatious look.
- Working from home? It's okay to follow an uber-trendy dressing sense at home too.
Comfy Kimonos, Ponchos or a tasteful shirt dress. And I couldn't help but wonder, aren't these good enough for work zoom meeting, be it at home or at a café. Well, you damn know I'm right.
- Fairy-Tale Tulle with T-shirts could really be a Legit style for bachelorette parties or similar low-key yet high-spirited events.
BTW organza sarees will be a second best if you wear them like a lehenga or dhoti under a sequined crop shirt or tee.
- Oh-So-Perfect Parisian Lehenga, that we're ready to spend our entire year's salary on.
The Larger than life Evening Gown from Paris can give us endless fashion ideas for any upcoming weddings to attend. The trick is layers of fabric. Enough said?
- Lastly, when in doubt, Accessorize. A lot! coz accessories are never too extra. Trust me. I've lived my entire college,
also recognized by that 'cool locket', 'did you see her kitten earrings', 'choker on a jeans,? looks nice' girl, and so on.
It may feel strange in the beginning for you, but roll that pretty bandana up your arm, wrist or ankle. Wear feathery lacey hair clips or sparkling brooch. Layer nicely.
Who cares if Carrie hated scrunchies, it made an appearance in the show & satin scrunchies are definitely trending now.
If you're up for it, just find your comfort zone and go overboard with them.
And…Just like that…You Make your own fashion statement!
